MainContext.acquire

Tries to become the owner of the specified context. If some other thread is the owner of the context, returns %FALSE immediately. Ownership is properly recursive: the owner can require ownership again and will release ownership when g_main_context_release() is called as many times as g_main_context_acquire().

You must be the owner of a context before you can call g_main_context_prepare(), g_main_context_query(), g_main_context_check(), g_main_context_dispatch().

Return Value

Type: bool

%TRUE if the operation succeeded, and this thread is now the owner of @context.
